WHAT IS CIRCO?
CIRCO is a scientifically tested programme that was developed in the Netherlands. It helps businesses identify and develop new business opportunities based on the principles of the circular economy while reducing negative environmental impacts.
The CIRCO programme provides a comprehensive approach to transforming a company’s business model, including education, workshops, and guidance through the transformation process. Together with experts, you will develop innovative solutions based on the circular economy that can help you achieve more sustainable and responsible business practices in your company.
